| Outline of Research at the Start |
For the 21st century learner, self-direction is a crucial skill. This proposal outlines an interdisciplinary data driven approach to support acquisition of Self-Direction Skill. It envisions to design and develop Goal Oriented Active Learner (GOAL) system to synchronize-visualize-analyze multisource data regarding student’s learning and physical activities. Synchronous logging of learner’s learning and physical activities shall generate a data poll that potentially opens up further research opportunities at the intersection of LA (Learning Analytics) and QS (Quantified-Self) research.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
GOAL project achieved to build a platform to collect learning and physical activity data of learners. Based on the user's reading behaviours and physical activity logs the system supported a DAPER (data collection - analysis - planning - execution monitoring - reflection) model to train for self-direction skills. Our need analysis highlighted the necessity of improving self-direction skills in learners both at school and university levels. The features required in the technology platform was refined over two design iterations. The initial data collected is a first of its kind dataset of learner's attribute from beyond daily learning activity context. Based on that we proposed data-driven models to measure their analysis and planning skills. It was also used to understand students self-directed learning behaviours.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The GOAL introduced a data-driven approach for measuring and adaptively supporting self-directed skills following the proposed DAPER process. The technical foundation paves way for further research using student's learning and physical activity data.
